lMPRO-VEMIENT IN BED-BOTTOMS.

The Schedule .referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Efl'o all whom 'it may concern,

Be it known that I, OTIS S. OSGOOD, of Burlington, in the county of Des Moines and in the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bed-Bottoms; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a spring bed-bottom, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appert-ains to make and use the sa'me, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure l is a. plan view, and

Figure 2 a side elevation of my improved bed-bottom.A

A A represent a. series of slats running longitudinallyl inthe bedstend. y

rIhese slats are secured at their ends to cross-bars or slatsB B, which rest upon and are secured to steel springs C C, said springs being constructed as shown in g. 2-that is, heut back and forth from side to side, forming three or more turns or folds, x. The more folds the springs have, or, in other words, the more they are turned back and forth, the better they will answer thepurposes fora hed-bottom.

The springs O O rest upon and are secured to a frame, I), which may be inserted'in or form a part of the bedstead.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The spring O with the triple curves, und the ends fastened to the upper and lower slats and cross-bars B B in parallel lines, as shown and descrihed,for the purposes set forth. y

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 26th day of Septe1nber, 1870.
